Biography
Damien Fleming was born in 1883 in Atlantic City, New Jersey to a family of Irish Catholics, and he became involved in local politics as a Republican Party member. Fleming became an alderman under the political machine of County Treasurer Enoch Thompson, and he collected money for Thompson, earning his position. Thompson also gave him his father's old house, but he burnt it down before renovations could be complete, as Thompson dreaded the bad memories that he had from the house when he was younger. He gave Fleming some money to buy a better house, although Fleming was disappointed by the loss of the house. Nevertheless, he remained loyal to Thompson during Jimmy Darmody's takeover of Atlantic City, and he continued to work for Thompson after he returned to power.
